This morning I was thinking about the stuff that needs to happen in the household... and i realized that a bunch of us do not know the first thing about it...
Here is a rough list of what needs to be done in one week:
-grocery shopping
-laundry
-feeding (daily)**
-folding the laundry
-help the kids with homework
-plan your menu
-keep the house clean
**I wrote daily above because, well, sometimes the obvious, isn't obvious. Its kind of cool (if you can cook) to take over and prepare a meal once in a while.. but after feeding the gang at the trough for the third time of the day you may have realized two very important things. One is that they expect to be fed and don't give thanks, and secondly there are three more meals to do tomorrow,...and again the next day...and the next...and the next...you get the idea.
What this means is that the two or ten things that you know how to cook, are not enough, you're going to run out of recipes really fast.
So the goal here is 'fuelling the machine', if the household is your new machine in order for your family to function well in it they must be well 'fuelled' (fed).
...and on a tighter budget to boot
so this morning I made an omelet and a video clip, the omelette was good the clip... not so much...I'll need to practice, but I attached it for fun anyway...
Making the omelette, for two takes two eggs and for four takes...four eggs
- 1 table spoon some sort of finely chopped onion
-1/4 cup chopped ham or bacon or salami or whatever bit of sandwich meat you have around
-1/2 cup grated cheese whatever you've got, the stronger the cheese, the less you use
-1/4 cup of milk
-4 eggs
first put about two table spoons of oil in a pan on medium heat, add the onion and the chopped up sandwich meat and fry that up a bit...
second, while that is happening, crack the eggs into a bowl, make sure no shell bits fall in, then mix in the milk and beat or whip or mix up the eggs and milk so that its smooth...
thirdly, pour the egg milk mixture on top of the fried (sautéed) stuff, put a lid over the pan and let the egg mix cook a few minutes (5-10) , still on medium heat.
lift the lid see if the egg is not liquid any more , sprinkle the chees on top, and with the spatula fold the omelette in half...
if everything went fine you have a half circle of omellette that can be cut into 1/8 size pie slices and served with toast and fruit on the side...
enjoy,
bye for now,
have a good morning,
And
